Chapter 712 The Queen's Gambit

• But that's not enough. Eric's mistake wasn't big enough, so Karen had Stella get close to Eric. She wanted Stella to fall in love with Eric first, and then use that love to get Eric's heart in return. She thought that if the two kids had a connection, someone like Eric, who was reckless and free-spirited, wouldn't be able to resist Stella.
• But surprisingly, Eric never fell for Stella, even though Karen hinted at him by letting Stella going in and out of his bathroom and room. Karen, who thought her plan was going to fail, happened to see Eric sneaking into Stella's room late at night.
• Karen followed him quietly and opened the door a cr ack. She saw Eric standing by Stella's bed, staring at her for a long time. Then suddenly, he leaned in and lightly kissed Stella's lips. After the kiss, he got startled, as if he had surprised himself.
